Compiling the list
Mar. 3rd, 2005 07:46 amSo, in efforts of building a "reading list" for Hong Kong action games, I'm putting together the big list of exemplary HKAT films. Let me know if I'm forgetting any obvious ones here. (Yes, Dave, I know you really liked Miracles-- I thought it was okay) Films on this list should be a) good b) good examples of HK and c) not spamming every Jet Li and Jackie Chan movie ever made.
Battle Royale
A Better Tomorrow
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Fist of Legend (Jet Li)
Fist Power
Gen-X Cops
Hard Boiled
High Risk (Meltdown)
Infernal Affairs
Iron Monkey
The Killer
Legend of Drunken Master (DM II)
New Legend of Shaolin (Legend of the Red Dragon)
Once a Thief (NOT the Canadian version)
Royal Warriors
Rumble in the Bronx
Shanghai Knights
Shaolin Soccer
Tokyo Raiders
Zu: Warriors of the Magic Mountain
Also: ones that I know are supposedly good, but haven't seen yet include Swordsman II, Peking Opera Blues, Tai Chi Master, and 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Working on it.
